"Cannot sync because playlists do not exist" ???? Please help ???

Recently noticed that all of my playlists dissapeared from my 20gb 3G iPod.
I docked it to try and sync it up and gave me the message "Songs on the iPod could not be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
Click ok. iPod undocks itself and is now completely empty. I redock it and gives the same message.
I did a reset on the iPod with no success so I did a complete restore. This allowed me to dock and resync to the iTunes library. So I add in a few more songs and try to sync and get the same message, undocked iPod, and completely deleted again. I even tried to delete my playlists from the iTunes library thinking that may be the propblem. Still getting this specific message despite there being nothing on the iPod and no playlists in iTunes.
Anybody have any idea what's going on here?
TIA

See this user tip.
The iPod cannot be updated because one or more playlists no longer exist.
For versions of iTunes from 7 onwards, the option to "update selected playlists" is now under the "music" tab in the summary screen.

  • "cannot sync because playlists do not exist" ??

    I just plugged my iPod into my computer and it wiped out every single song and playlist that was on my iPod, but everything is still in iTunes. When I try to transfer all my songs, a window comes up that says "Songs on this iPod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". What does this mean? How can i fix it?

    Since your library is larger than will fit on your iPod, iTunes created a playlist which will fit.
    You deleted this playlist so, "all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
    Create a new playlist.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Clik the Music tab.
    Select this new playlist.

  • Cannot sync because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library

    On my last attempt to sync my iPod Touch with my laptop I got the following message:
    The iPod "*******" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 3.18 GB required) 
    My iPod is the basic 8 GB version with 6.8 GB capacity.    I have cleard most of my photos off the iPod.   I have 536 MB available. 
    How do I get the iPod to sync?

    I found it!   There is a note in the help pages.   Basically turn off all sync options in iTunes.  Apply that change.   Then go back and turn sync's back on.  WARNING..   Take note of how your sync's are set up before you turn them off.

  • Songs Can't be Synced Because Playlists No Longer Exist?

    Color me kind of stupid, but could you tell me why all music has disappeared from my Nano (second) and iTunes tells me, after I've connected, "Songs on the iPod "My Name's iPod" cannot be synced because all the playlists selected for synching no longer exist." What did I do? How do I fix it? My more than 1,000 songs remain listed in iTunes, and I am able to get my little Shuffle going just fine, but the Nano is empty. Please help! Thanks so much!

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Syncing Music to iPod
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

    i have latest ver.6 of tomcat installed

    exchange the : in your classpath with a ;
    windows, in its infinite wisdom, uses a semi-colon as the path separator. the colon is what you would use if you were on unix, macosx, or linux.

  • HT5621 How can I change my Apple ID on the Icloud on my iphone? I changed it to a new address and the icloud wont let me update it on m phone and it is not registering my old address either because it no longer exists. please help!

    It continues to ask me for my password for the old address nd when i enter it or have tried to change it, it does not recognise that address. Do I have to take y phone back to new to be able to log in to the icloud with the changed email address?

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

  • My new ipad cannot synced because there is not enough space

    My new ipad first tried to download all my photo, I have too many, I reset to just save last 30 days, Show I have about 5.5 gb but still getting message not enough room to sync? What do I need to do?

    Youha e to look at all the stuff you are trying to have on your iPad. There is only 16, 32, or 64 GB of space on the iPad. Movies, apps, and photos take up the most space but books and other files require space as well. Check all your usage and do not add what you do not need.

  • IPod can't be synced  because there is not enough free space?

    At first, my iPod couldn't be synced because 'playlists doesn't exist'(there's another forum about this and apparently this comment helped a lot of people...
    "Click on your 'DEVICE' on the left in ITUNES,
    click the music tab and where it says Sync Music, hit the all songs and playlist radio button.... worked for me, hope that helps...."
    So I did just that, but then songs still won't go in my iPod because...
    When I click device and go to the music tab, I clicked 'all songs and playlists' then clicked apply. This message shows up:'...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (2.99 GB required, 51.2 MB available)'
    By the way, my iPod's supposed to store 1,000 songs/4 GB, and at this moment, my iTunes has about 700-800 something songs, that only takes up about 2-3GB.
    At the bottom part in device, it says this...
    Capacity - 3.77 GB
    Audio - 851 KB
    Other - 3.71 GB
    Free Space - 51.2 MB
    I basically don't get it. Isn't it supposed to store 4 GB and more than 2-3 GB? I feel so stupid, but anyway...
    Should I delete more songs or is there really something wrong? Before my songs disappeared in my iPod, all the songs could fit into it, even more than what I have in my iTunes now. What's wrong?
    Message was edited by: 8uh7yg

    When you say restore it, do you mean restore the one in iTunes or restore my iPod itself? The press the circle button then press menu for a long time in my iPod? I already did that.
    It says 174.32. I only have about 700 something songs because I tried deleting some to see if deleting some songs would help fix the problem but no. It's strange because before all my songs and playlists disappeared in my iPod, I even had more songs in my iPod than what I have in iTunes now.
    About 15-30 minutes ago, I was able to put only about 9-10 songs in my iPod because it says it doesn't have enough free space. It's so strange, it really frustrates me.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • Question I have a dilemma . I added a lot of songs in my iTunes now when I synced my ipod this message appear "Elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additiona

    I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.

    The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes.  If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
    When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window.  There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs.  Did you check that checkbox?  If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled.  If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply.  Click Apply.
    That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs.  If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back.
